So What Is TEFL, What Is CELTA?
These terms all mean or represent the same exact thing, teaching English:
TEFL = Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (a term typically used in non-English speaking places where English is a foreign language)
TESOL = Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (a term typically used in English speaking places where there are people who are learning English as a Second language)
CELTA = Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults (this term is the Cambridge Exam Board "brand name" for a TEFL course that trains people to teach adults English)
You can be hired to teach English with a certificate from any 4-week, full time training course listed above. Employers are most interested in the fact that you have the practical teaching experience from a 120+ hour course, not the name brand on the paper. Weekend and Online courses typically do not offer the 6-8 hours of real classroom experience, observed by a TEFL course tutor.
How TEFL/CELTA works:
1. You complete a 4 week TEFL/CELTA course in any one of these locations. You spend the 4 weeks enjoying the city and completing the coursework which includes daily teaching practice with real English classes. Housing is available at each location. If you don't see a location you are looking for, ask us and we'll find a suitable course where you want to go.
2. After the course you either stay in that city/country or return home or go elsewhere and start teaching. You will interview with language schools and get offers for a teaching schedule or blocks of hours. You can work for any number of employers. The TEFL/CELTA course is not an employer. They train you and offer job guidance and assist in every way to help you find teaching work.
3. You teach for as long or short as you want. This arrangement is between you and the employer. The employers typically want you to teach for the academic year, so the students have the same teacher for a complete session. The academic year is generally from September to June in the northern hemisphere and March to November in the southern hemisphere. But you can start teaching at any point along the way. During the summer, there are teaching opportunities with language camps (teens).
Jobs are available year round and with our international network of employers, recruiters and alumni. Jobs in Asia can be pre-arranged if you are a native English speaker, have a university level degree and can commit to a 9-12 month contract.

Enjoy living abroad during your course:
In each location the local TEFL course staff will help you make your experience abroad easy and enjoyable. Language employers recognize that you have spent the 4 weeks abroad and adapted to a foreign language and culture yourself. This, combined with the skills you learn on the TEFL / TESOL / CELTA course, will fully prepare you for your teaching job anywhere you go.
